Partial mandibular resection significantly reduces maximum occlusal force. This study found that surgical removal of parts of the jaw impacts biting strength, affecting chewing function.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Rehabilitation
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Surgical resection of the mandible can impair structures crucial for occlusal force.
  • Squamous cell carcinoma often necessitates partial mandibular resection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of partial mandibular resection on maximum occlusal force.
  • To evaluate changes in occlusal force before and after cancer treatment and prosthetic rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Studied five subjects with partial mandibular resections for squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Measured anterior occlusal force using a gnathodynamometer.
  • Compared results with normative data from five edentulous and five dentate cancer-free subjects.

Main Results:

  • The null hypothesis that partial mandibular resection does not affect maximum occlusal force was rejected (p = 0.0101).
  • Mandibular resection significantly altered maximum occlusal force.

Conclusions:

  • Partial mandibular resection demonstrably decreases maximum occlusal force.
  • Further research is needed to determine the impact of reduced occlusal force on masticatory function.
